If you’re interested in keeping up with my future work, i have a substack i started a few months back! xx open.substack.com/pub/jvcaptai...

I love you! YOU are so much of Teen Vogue, too! x

Teen Vogue was and will always be a special place and I’m so disheartened to see so many talented creatives and editors lose their jobs. But I trust God’s plan. More to come. Here’s to the next adventure! xx

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Last year, the oldest historically Black Greek letter orgs moved to ban trans men from its ranks. Even without bans, @aiyanaish.bsky.social found that LGBTQ students don't feel welcome in some Divine 9 orgs. Some say they face a choice: Come out, or go Greek.

For queer or trans students trying to join Greek life, Black Greek-letter organizations at their HBCU can foster a culture of heteronormative masculinity that makes it, if not unsafe, not in the student’s best interest to be openly queer.
